Term Life Insurance with Living Benefits
定期寿险与生前福利
Term life insurance is part of your plan for providing financial protection for your loved ones, business or estate. There is not another form of insurance or a financial tool you can use that provides the value you get from term life. It’s inexpensive, simple to maintain and easy to purchase.
定期寿险是您为亲人、企业或遗产提供财务保护计划的一部分。没有其他形式的保险或金融工具能提供与定期寿险相同的价值。它价格低廉,维护简单,购买方便。
However, your family or your business only benefit if you die. And while that’s simply the nature of life insurance, it’s not exactly the most desirable trade off. Wouldn’t it be nice if term life policies offered benefits while you were still living?
然而,您的家人或企业只有在您去世时才能受益。虽然这正是寿险的性质,但这并不是最理想的交换条件。如果定期寿险在您生存期间也能提供一些福利,那该多好呢?
Living Benefits
生前福利
Living benefits are exactly what the name implies. They are benefits paid from the term life policy while you are living. More commonly, they are known as accelerated death benefits. With these benefits, the life insurance company pays or advances a portion of the policy’s death benefit to you to pay for care or treatment. The company will then pay the balance of the death benefit to your beneficiary(s) if you were to die.
生存福利正如其名,是在您生存期间从定期寿险保单中支付的福利。更常见的说法是加速死亡福利。通过这些福利,保险公司会支付或提前支付保单死亡赔偿金的一部分给您,用于支付护理或治疗费用。如果您去世,保险公司会将剩余的死亡赔偿金支付给您的受益人。
Limitation to Accelerated Death Benefit
加速死亡福利的限制
It’s important to understand that there are some limitations you need to understand with these types of benefits.
重要的是要理解这些类型的福利存在一些限制。
-
State Availability – Accelerated death benefits are not available in every state. Many standard term life policies that offer accelerated death benefits are also limited by state restrictions. Let's discuss what your options are when it comes to Living Benefits.
- 州的可用性:并不是所有州都提供加速死亡福利。许多提供加速死亡福利的标准定期寿险保单也受到州限制。
-
Benefit Limits – Many benefits limit the amount and frequency that you can tap into accelerated benefits. Again, it's important to understand these limits, so let's talk about your options.
- 福利限制:许多福利会限制您能够提取的加速福利的金额和频率。再次强调,了解这些限制非常重要。
-
Fees – Accelerated death benefits are essentially loans against the policy’s face amount. The company will use a benefit interest rate to determine the present value of future benefits. This rate, along with administrative fees will be factored into the amount of the benefit allowed.
- 费用:加速死亡福利本质上是对保单面额的贷款。保险公司将使用福利利率来确定未来福利的现值。这个利率以及行政费用将会影响您可获得的福利金额。
It’s a good idea for you to get an understanding of these benefits before you purchase a policy. You don’t want to wait until a critical illness occurs to learn how your policy works.
在购买保单之前,了解这些福利是个好主意。您不希望在发生严重疾病时才了解您的保单如何运作。
